Activision and Sledgehammer Games occasionally host free access periods that allow new players to try the Call of Duty Vanguard, but when is the next trial?

Season 2 Reloaded has kicked off in Call of Duty Vanguard and it has introduced the Armaguerra 43 SMG, a fresh 12v12 mode, and of course, new vehicles to the game.
